Indigofera decora Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a light or medium well-drained soil and a sunny position[11, 200]. Succeeds on chalk[11]. The top-growth is not very winter-hardy, the stems are often cut back by cold weather but new shoots are produced in spring and these flower in late summer[182]. A very ornamental plant[1], it is closely related to I. fortunei[182]. The flowers, which are borne over a period of about 20 weeks, have a vanilla scent[245]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200]. For further Indigofera decora gardening information |
